Initially established as DCBL Bank Limited, a development bank, in 2001, Grand Bank Nepal Limited is operating as a commercial bank since 2008. Established by a team of professional bankers, prominent industrialists, entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and career diplomats, the bank has been providing diversified services to its customers by offering its products in the form of loans, guarantees and venture capital, etc.

The bank had to change its name in order to remove the confusion among the people regarding the fact that it was a commercial bank and not development bank anymore as most of them still thought it to be the latter. The bank has been providing its products and services to its valued customers through its twenty one branches, including the head office, all over the country among which ten are inside the Kathmandu valley and the other ten are outside of the valley.
